  1. Re:Linux port? on Sony Music CD's Contain Mac DRM Software Too · · Score: 1

    I think you can spot a file named INSTALL on the CD, which contains:

    Hi, this is the mighty S0ny-O CD Player! As we're really mighty we need you to install our module as a superuser, so won't you mind, run the following please: ./configure --with-drm --with-rootkit --enable-hide && make && su -c 'make install'

    Note: Please disregard any notes you kernel may give saying our module is tainted. That is just licensing issues, you know...
    Also, please leave your internet connected while using the player, thank you very much!

    Oh well, just for the record:

  12. Re:My karma can stand it on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 1

    What amuses me is the way Latins (the ones who speak Spanish, not Brazilians - Brazilians calls them Americans aswell) calls the Americans: "Estadunidenses", which means something like "Unitedstaters"

    That's quite funny =)

    Also, I never seen a Latin call himself American, they always refer to the country, as in Brazilians, Peruvians, Bolivians... Or in a more general term, Latin Americans... But never Americans.

  14. Re:I could have saved them a lot of trouble on Microsoft Consults Ethical Hackers at Blue Hat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let's just say the last time I installed a plain Win2k (i.e. no SP) I got the Blaster Worm 2 minutes after the first boot, and I didn't even started ANY program, including iE (I was trying to prove to myself the point that user interaction wasn't needed to compromise your system).
    The Windows I have now is XP-SP2, but I have not run into this, as I unplugged the network before installing, and only plugged again after I got a firewall installed.
    And, of course, any decent firewall will block this type of thing - that's precisely what the firewall is made for.

  16. MacGyver on Your Favorite Math/Logic Riddles? · · Score: 1

    You are MacGyver (that's hint #1).
    You are running on a jungle, a hungry lion behind you, and you reach a river, which has a deadly crocodile waiting for his meal.
    You have 1 binoculars, 1 (empty) match box, and 1 small clamp.
    If you stay, the lion eats you, if you swim the crocodile eats you.
    How do you cross the river?

    Hint #2: You can't call Steve Irwin
